A scientific theory is much different than a theory in other disciplines. Nothing in science is ever "proven" but evidence for a hypothesis can become so convincing that it becomes a theory. Evolution is a real, testable, part of science. It is every bit as real as gravity, believe me. Evolution does not require faith, as is often claimed. The evidence supports it wholly, and no evidence against it holds an ounce of water when put up to the rigors of science.

Often evolutionary theory is rejected by fundamental religious folks due to its being at odds with Genesis. The Bible makes no reference to the basic principles of physics or chemistry, yet these are not often questioned by anti-evolutionists. Evolutionary theory does NOT contradict any of the important tenants of religion. The basic moral principles meant to be taught in the Bible have nothing to do with science.

Nothing in biology makes sense except in light of evolution.
